Testing for a Correct Ground Connection Demonstration- Video

Today we are going to show you a little bit on wiring. Basically, a wiring 101 or what to look for when you hardwire into a vehicle. Hardwire means actually getting to the wires and splicing into them and making a connection. The first thing you want to do when you hardwire a vehicle is you want to make sure you are grounded and get a test. Make sure your tester is working fine. On some cars you will see this on one of the wires. Being the same color like these black wires. You will see a lot of them ran to a screw inside the body here. Chances are that is going to be your ground. You can actually use that ground for your light tester. What we mean by a light tester is a device like this right here. Basically, this connects to the ground and what this device does is this hooks around the wire you want to test and you push it together and it precises the wire and touches the copper wire inside, creates a circuit and lights up when you have power in that wire. more

We will demonstrate that here with this light we have hooked up to a power supply. This is the ground so this will go to the ground of one of the lights that you are working with. This probe here will actually go to the wire itself. We will use our hook here, and we will go ahead and just test the wire. Just squeeze it gently and you hear a tone and it lights up.
